Conquering chaos…

It is essential to stay organized in this world where chaos confounds everyday life, challenging our existence. Keeping a list of your doodads and do hickeys diligently divided is beneficial so you can reach them instantly when needed. The intelligent choice is keeping your widgets and digits stacked neatly for quick, convenient contemplation. In addition, having your entire calendar of events prominently posted for your perfunctory perusal should be a requirement.

As a 22-year veteran of multiple sclerosis, I like to control my cognitive concerns as senility runs on my sister’s side of the family. However, things have changed since I began using technology to aid my memory and simplistic systematization. I was old school in the early days, and my house showed it as I coated everything in a thick yellow layer of Post-it notes. These bright inked jots would give me notice for mundane tasks ahead, like eating and brushing my teeth and many other ridiculously rudimentary reminders.

There is now so much technology to help you stay organized that excuses have gone with the dodo bird. 3.48 million Applications exist in the Android Play Store, and 2.22 million apps reside in the Apple App Store, reminding us there are many apps for that. These application operations can assist, remind, play games, or even tell you when to throw old apps out the window. Gone is the day of tying a string around your finger to remind you of a task you inevitably forget. Writing a to-do list on paper that eventually falls to the floor and gets lost in the trash of modernity is superfluous.

Devices like smartphones, computers, and smartwatches make it impossible to stay unorganized. MSers and most people must find what works best to keep our lives formulated and coordinated to avoid confusion and chaotic clutter. Multiple sclerosis causes plenty of brain cloudiness from shoddy short-term memory, like trying to use an old computer from a junkyard. Simplify your life using apps to manage finances, schedules, and more. The benefits are plentiful, as the possibilities are endless.

With organization comes empowerment.

  1. This is one of my most challenging symptoms! I’ve gotten a lot better because of using technology to help me but I still forget to utilize my tools and/or overlook reminders as I may forget them a second or two after I shut off the alert. The struggle is so real🤦‍♀️
